Ukraine to initiate claim against Kazakhstan on pipe export limitation

Ukraine decided to address the World Trade Organization on the issue of Kazakhstan limiting exports of Ukrainian pipes.

In late August the Ministry of economic development and trade hosted a meeting with representatives of pipe industry, where obstacles on the way of delivering pipes to world markets, including the Eurasian Economic Union, in particular Belarus and Kazakhstan were discussed.

Ukrainian pipe manufacturers voiced concerns as to the antidumping duty of 18.9-37.8% not allowing them to compete on the external markets. (Ukrainian metal)
